266 Wisconsin State Horticultural Society. 



Haas, Talraau Sweet, St. Lawrence, Utter, Walbridge, Snow, Alex- 

 ander, Fall Orange, and perhaps one or two others. 



Our September meeting was a faihire on account of the weather, 

 bnt on the last day of the fair a call meeting was held, and a 

 few notes taken. 



Of course the exhibition of apples was slim, but enough was 

 there to keep up the reputation of our county as one of the fruit 

 raising counties of Wisconsin. The show of grapes was splen- 

 did, some of the choicest varieties. Friend Springer had fifty- 

 three kinds; R. M. Hubbard, of Fremont, forty; C. F. Eaton, of 

 Fremont, thirty-six; J. A. Mathews, Weyauwega, fifteen; A. Y. 

 Balch, ten. 



At our meeting in January the subject of grape raising was 

 discussed. Rev. J. P. Roe, of Oshkosh, gave us some very good 

 suggestions. He prefers the Concord, Delaware, Rogers No. 15. 

 Rogers 22, 44: and 28 are excellent. For an early grape likes 

 Rogers jSTo. 3. Of black grapes likes Moore's Early, Champion. 

 Was much pleased with the Duchess and considers it a farmer's 

 grape.
